但是，这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢？据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。) P: \- T" Y- u0 x: s% O8 t! k

在网上收集了几种译法：供各位参考，希望起到抛砖引玉的作用：
1 A( Q9 r" O. b; Y# j
$ Z3 k: f! Q# z- t2 x& \8 ~ 1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去，朝三暮四)
- {8 Q5 e+ k4 P/ B: O6 p" L7 J. r- K" x4 U( i P; ~' l
2、don"t get sidetracked (别走岔路)
4 d9 U* e. v/ U. |/ t. V: x% Q8 M( h+ G! \$ j
3、don"t sway back and forth (别反复)# t% J( j$ s" ] V7 Z, W! l

5、no major changes (没有重大变化)8 l' S/ H* r2 O- g/ S3 O

6、avoid futile actions (不做无用工)

5 Y N0 S6 @4 s' t4 |+ ^
8 N8 v9 H. E/ W [, r& p 上述译法，觉得都不够准确，不够精彩，没有把“折腾”的全部意思表达出来。这里推荐一个译法，感觉比较恰当：0 I# e, \$ h- R& W
N- o! w( e0 g" s1 l! l* ?
avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)5 ~- E& i5 m6 F" i7 P
, a* t" E% c8 T% o0 G( h
原因是：
8 d" W. ~' d) L7 I# k8 x8 \$ s( g3 \3 _; O4 X @
“self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.
% v, ]' b* Z4 m: F6 K/ P+ \& ^0 l; q; ]& m( ]2 Z
折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.
& Q9 q+ c# v/ s/ j5 U& N( e B) k: T& H0 }
“Setback” is a much better word than “trouble”, whichanunseasoned translator would like to use in the firstinstance.“Setback” especially refers to the obstacle ordifficultyencountered in achieving a strategic goal. |
